Product Statuses
When opening a product in PCM, two status options will be available:
The status product attribute which can be found in the product general information section
The ORP product status, which can be found at the bottom of the page.
Product status
PCM can export products to channels such as Magento and Amazon. PCM will export products to these channels when at least one of the purchasable variant status is set to COMPLETE. Modifications on a completed product are also synced to Magento/Amazon.
The status can be changed by clicking the status button, and selecting the new status (see image 1).
The following product statuses are available in ORP:
NEW
New product available in PCM
APPROVE
In some cases you’ll need approval form an admin. In this case you need to set the status to Approve. Then the product is ready to be checkt by the admin.
MIXED
Some product variants have been enriched and their status has been completed, some products still have a status ‘new’.
COMPLETE
The product is completed, and the product sync to your online platform has been triggered.
ARCHIVED
The product is no longer in use, and will be ‘hidden’ from the product list page in PCM. You can find these products marked archived by filtering on status.
Status product attribute
The status product attribute is a status update for the product that will be used for Essenza’s internal usage. Whenever a product changes status, simply update the dropdown field with the appropriate status. To do this click on the edit button and navigate to the general tab at the bottom of the page, from there you will find a status menu, click and select the product attribute status (see image 5). The product management in PCM allows for the following minimum set of product statuses to be used:
In development
In development, in collection
Development complete
On hold
Price calculation export
Item ready for Xlenz
Ready for platforms
Out of collection
Inactive
Two of the above statuses result in an export being triggered.
When a product’s status is set to
Item ready for Xlenz, the product will be exported to Xlenz.When a product’s status is set to
Ready for platforms, the product will be exported to the channels.
When a product is edited an update will be sent to a channel, to Xlenz or to both depending on the status of the product. The status of the product can be updated by changing the ORP status.
